My grandmother, who traces her roots to the landing at Plymouth Rock, tells me that we are related to Daniel Webster
Apart from all the good stuff you can read about in the above link, he was also famous for his "massive head."
"Webster’s head was phenomenal in size, and
beauty of outline, and grandeur of appearance....
His brow was so protuberant that his eyes, though
unusually large, seemed sunken, and were
likened unto “great burning lamps set deep in the
mouths of caves.” But large as his Perceptive
organs were, his Reflectives bulged out over them.
His causality was massively developed; and his
organ of comparison, which was larger even than
his causality, protruded as though nature, in
Henry Clay Daniel Webster building Webster’s head, having distributed her
superabundant material as well as she could,
found at the last that she had such a lot of brain matter left on hand, that, in despair,
she dabbed it on in front and let it take its chance of sticking; and it stuck. The
head, the face, the whole presence of Webster, was kingly, majestic, godlike" - Dyer
